Categories     Potato     Side

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 stick butter, melted plus 1 tablespoon at room temp
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, divided use
8 oz pancetta, diced, cooked and drained of excess oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 chopped fresh flat leaf Italian parsley
2 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish with the 1 tablespoon of room temp butter and set aside. Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return the potatoes to the same pot and mash well with a potato masher. Mix in the melted butter and milk. Mix in the mozzarella, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan and pancetta. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and add in parsley. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the mashed potatoes. Recipe can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead of time; cover and chill. Bake, uncovered, until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

These potatoes were delicious! I loved the crispy topping and the creamy potatoes. I will definitely be making this dish again.

The potatoes were a bit dry, but the crispy topping helped to make up for it. I think I would add some more milk or cream to the potatoes next time.

These potatoes were a little too rich for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would use less pancetta and Parmesan cheese next time.

I was skeptical about the pancetta and Parmesan cheese combination, but it totally works! The flavors meld together perfectly and create a really unique and delicious dish.

These potatoes are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The potatoes are creamy and fluffy on the inside, and the crispy topping adds a nice textural contrast.

These baked mashed potatoes were a hit at our dinner party! The combination of pancetta, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs gave them a delicious and flavorful crust.
